Care for two children to meet all their developmental needs, emotionally, physically and mentally. I also manage the house: making sure all other staff are trained with a Kosher understanding (especially in the kitchen), liaise with any visitors to the house professionally and personally, maintain a stable and structure home for the children to thrive in. As well as caring for the children I do bookkeeping services for an older relative of the family and monitor checks and balances.
